Hi - New to the Forum - but hoping to get some adivce/opinions on a question I have.  I am a mid-80's player, and I have broken 80 a handful of times with 76 being my lowest score.

I was hitting my driver about 245 regularly, but I had a lot of spin and a very high launch.  On the advice of a guy at Golf Town, I got my driver reshafted.  I was hitting a 55g regular flex with a low kick point (the shaft that came with the driver).  They put in an Adilla NV 65 stiff shaft.  Long story short, it instantly reduced my spin and I started driving this thing up the middle and I was carrying about 260 yards.  This has got me thinking that I shoudl look into reshafting my 3 wood and hybrids.  I am even considering reshafting my 5 and 6 irons as I pull them left and think I may need a stiffer flex.

So, my question - should I look into buying new equipment, or just stick to reshafting?  I currently hit Adams Idea Tech A4 Irons and hybrids (3&4) with regular flex.  I like the clubs, and would prefer to keep the heads if it made sense.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.  Also, if you can suggests any good shafts for a three wood, hybrid, or irons - that would be great.  I am looking for a lower ball flight and less spin.

Thanks


Go back to GT and test some shafts. The launch monitor can narrow the choices for you.

If you really like what you have, re-shafting is the way to go.


Definitely consider re-shafting over new clubs. Shafts can make a world of difference. Have you considered checking the lie angle of the irons you are pulling to see if that could be the cause. Obviously your swing speed is probably the biggest factor since you are using regular flex shaft in your irons as well, but the lie angle could definitely be a cause of the lefts.....especially if it's consistent.

    • What's a snake draft? I, like ChetlovesMer am looking forward to this one. Good drills and bad ones sounds interesting and informative.
    • Bounce and a roll but it gets on in one on a 200 yard hole so I’m counting it. I’ve been trying that hole with a 3 iron and feeling insufficient so I more or less gave up and started taking the 3 wood with me. Last two times were within 8’ of the pin so it got me thinking maybe I can play this game. Doesn’t take much to pop that bubble though.
    • Yeah is the 3 wood 200 carry or is it 175 with roll out?
    • Day 172 - 2025-03-21 Got an hour of work done on the backswing and transition after an early morning lesson and before some later lessons.
    • For your price range I'm not sure why you are limiting yourself to Callaway. Callaway drivers hold their value better than a lot of other brands which truthfully are pretty equivalent.  Firstly, if you are hitting your 3 wood 200 yards at your age that's phenomenal. Keep your Burner.  Secondly, if you do want new different woods,  at your price range I'd look to Wilson, Tour Edge, and Cleveland. Their woods don't hold their value well at all. But they are perfectly good clubs. You can in all likelihood get a closer to current model if you consider non-Callaway clubs.  As @Typhoon92 mentioned, roll into your nearest Play-It-Again-Sports and you'll likely find something in your price range.  Lastly, be patient. A lot of times you can test your buddies clubs. A lot of guys at the range will ask other folks at the range "Hey, how do you like blah blah blah...." Most guys will let you hit their clubs if you are patient you may stumble across an older model you really like. I've literally sold one of my clubs at the range to a guy for 50 bucks. I've seen other guys buy clubs off guys at the range. You just never know. Your Taylormade Burners really aren't bad clubs so unless you are going for something fitted, I'd suggest taking your time.  Anyway, good luck
